TORONTO - The Maple Leafs are in dire need of secondary scoring, which is not peeling back the cover on a well-kept secret.

Don’t worry if you’re Troy Bodie or Carl Gunnarsson or Tim Gleason. It was nice that each of you, in a rare bit of production, managed to put the puck in the net during the four-game trip last week.

But it’s not something that is expected from you on a regular basis, and any time it happens, it’s a bonus.

The Leafs, who will return to practice at the MasterCard Centre on Monday after having Sunday off, have 28 games remaining.

And if this team has true designs on a playoff spot, where it’s likely that nothing will be guaranteed until the final week of the 2013-14 regular season, some players who have been stuck in a dry rut will have no choice but to find a way out of it.

This means you, Nazem Kadri, owner of three goals in your past 25 games; and you, Joffrey Lupul, with five in 20; and you, Mason Raymond, with three in the past 26 games.
